Does anyone else here ever use Lee Dippers to charge their rounds? I use them when I reload handgun "plinking" loads. There are rounds that are loaded near minimum powder charge.
I once did an experiment with the dippers. I charged a dozen .38 Specials with the dippers and a dozen with a powder measure. I used the same powder charge, bullet, case and primer. Their was absolutely no difference in point of impact or group size. I did not chronograph the loads so I can't say their was any velocity variations. But they did seem to shoot alike.
I find the dippers to be easy and quick. I wouldn't use them for any maximum or near maximum loads, but I think they are safe enough for milder loads.
Who else uses Lee Powder Dippers?
